“By bringing together 108 inherited disorders within a framework based on modern lysosomal biology, we hope to provide a clearer way of understanding how these diseases relate to one another. This could support more precise diagnosis and genetic interpretation and, in the longer term, help researchers identify shared disease mechanisms that could become targets for new treatments.”
